The Roosevelt Book: Selections from the Writings of Theodore Roosevelt

If you ever wondered where John Wayne came from, perhaps this little book will give you a clue. I don't literally mean "John Wayne", I mean the American man as a prototype. Here we have the writings of Theodore Roosevelt, aimed at younger Americans, instructing them as to how to become the best they can be, as American citizens. There are also some historical sketches of 'heroes' and battles. Also included are Roosevelt's talks about animals and hunting. -- This illustrated eBook edition of the 1909 original has been carefully edited for scanning and spelling errors, and is as true to the original as possible. The original spellings of the period have been left intact. Those who complain that OCR creates errors simply have not taken the time to read and edit every word as we have. [EDB Pubs]
